“Beach dungeon of your dreams!”

Reviewed 2 May 2013 via mobile

Very close to ocean. My room had 2 very small windows, one viewing parking lot and one viewing an old creepy house or something. In the room it was spacious with big beds. Lighting was terrible it was seriously so dark in this room. The shower head was ridiculous as was the water pressure. It was basically a leaky water... More

“Worst hotel in Nags head”

Reviewed 6 April 2013

We were looking for a large room to sleep a family of 4. We received what they call Efficiency. The room had a slight mold smell but this was the good part. The A/C is from the colonial times it made such a noise that it kept wake us up. My daughter's bed was full of sand and no we... More

“Great value”

Reviewed 4 March 2013 via mobile

Great value for this room. The hotel staff went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure the stay was a great one. For example it was a cold day and the front desk clerk had gone in before I arrived to make sure the heat in the room was turned on. I got a great deal through... More

“Nothing like I expected”

Reviewed 25 February 2013

We stayed here and upon checking in, the front office matched the pictures we saw online. We were placed in the wrong room at first (we reserved the room with a kitchen, living room and 2 separate bedrooms). They put us in the room with 2 beds, a tv and mini fridge. After going to the office to tell them... More

I sincerely apologize for the confusion and failure to deliver on our behalf. It is not my habit to make excuses as what you describe should have never happened. I can say we are remodeling each and every room at the Colonial Inn and the plan within the next few months is to have new a fresh rooms property wide.... More

“We will be back”

Reviewed 8 February 2013 via mobile

Little imperfections with the room and frozen breakfast foods were things that we overlooked during our 25th wedding anniversary getaway. The beds were clean, plenty of hot water and the heat/ac worked. We are proffessionals in the resort industry so we know what to look for in the business. They are remodelling and updating a 50s era motel and doing... More

I am happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. I can certainly promise that the breakfast area is on our list of things to improve this off season. We are also making a number of improvements to the rooms in the coming month. It is my sincere hope you are able to return soon. More

“Best Nags Head vacation ever”

We really had a great week at the beach - I actually forgot what date it was, so I'd say it was a success. This is a great "mom and pop" motel reminiscent of traveling in the 60's when I was a kid. Thank heaven they're still out there! We stayed in an apartment with a kitchenette which was great... More
